The saga continues for me with FNBO. I received the following email from them which indicates that they are unable to fund my new account with the account they successfully verified previously. They request that I mail them a check, but there's no address provided! Check it out. I made privacy modifications with brackets.:
==================
You recently initiated a request to fund your new account(s) with [amount] from [my account]. Unfortunately, we were unable to fund your new account(s) using your source account.
Please mail us a check for [the amount]. Mail check to: <<FI_REGULAR_MAIL_ADDRESS>>
If you wish to discuss this further with a Customer Service Representative, please send an email to
service@myaccount.fnbodirect.com or call 1-877-370-3707. Please reference your applicant ID # when you contact us.
We apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for choosing FNBO Direct for your Online Savings Account.

==================
So I sent an email back explaining that this looked suspicious, and the email bounced back to me! If no one else reported using them, I would think it was a Nigerian scam (except I suspect scammers would be better at taking your money if you try to give it to them).
